Quick Accent: add own accented letters and edit the existing ones

[watchmakerful]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Ability to add, edit or reorder the accented characters in a text configuration file (or directly in the Settings form).

Scenario when this would be used?

Frequent usage of custom characters like ð, φ or π (especially as math symbols), or unusual diacritics like ę or ő.

AutoHotkey could do this without breaking a sweat!

One more resident app on my PC? Nope...

This was the first thing I thought about when trying out Q.A. Where are special characters such as ±, ², ©, ° etc.

@bveldkamp @watchmakerful There's an obvious answer for that: those are not accents. Doesn't mean they can't be added in the future, but Q.A. was designed for letters.
As I said, Autohotkey can do this - and when you script it, you set it up for personal needs - but using that (or not) is a personal choice.

What about "ð"? Is it considered an accented version of "d"?

Sure, there are all sorts of utilities that can do many things. But we are talking about PowerToys here, aren't we? :-) Besides, Autohotkey could do accents as well I guess, so we wouldn't need Quick Accents at all then.

If you want, I can make another feature request / idea to rename Quick Accents to Quick Characters or whatever. The point is that we give enhancement ideas here, and that's what this is. Enhance Quick Accents to include more characters.
